Gavin McKenna has taken the junior hockey world by storm.

The 17-year-old Medicine Hat Tigers forward, already projected to be the top pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, has scored goals and tallied points at an incredible pace.

He closed out the regular season on a record Western Hockey League point streak, amassing 32 goals and 100 points in 40 consecutive games. Before it ended on Sunday, May 11 in Game 2 of the WHL Final against the Spokane Chiefs, the streak stretched to 54 games, giving him the longest point streak among CHL players in the 21st century, edging out Alexander Radulov, who had a 50-game point streak in 2005-06 with the Quebec Remparts.

“We’re talking about the best junior player in Canada,” says TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button. “I don’t toss around the title of ‘best junior player in Canada’ softly, it’s not hyperbole. He’s the best junior player in Canada. When you have that type of star power and ability to impact the game, it’s beyond impressive.”

McKenna amassed three goals and five points in the 2025 Memorial Cup, leading his Tigers all the way to final before falling to the London Knights 4-1.

The phenom scored his team's lone goal in the final, and was later named to the Memorial Cup All-Star team alongside Easton Cowan, Denver Barkey, Sam Dickinson, Tanner Molendyk, and Austin Elliot.
